Explosion at McCallum Street!

We were in a discussion before lunch when a loud explosion was heard. All we saw was smoke and had ignore it as we thought was fumigation at the Clift construction site and explosion sound could be the demolition of Asia Chambers building.

But, at 2.30pm, I saw fire engines, a police car and an ambulance at McCallum Street.

History
McCallum Street is named after Major Sir Henry Edward McCallum (b. 28 October 1852, Yeovil, Somersetshire, England – d. 24 November 1919, England), a colonial official. While serving in Singapore as a colonial engineer in the 1890s, he designed the National Museum. In 1895, McCallum Street, then a new street, was declared a public street.
